Nicolas aka rent a car.
Reverso - But which one ?
The Jaeger-LeCoutre Reverso is a classic that every collector should own at some stage. I would like to ask for your advice and experiences with this model as so many variations have been issued over the years. If you could chose any model from the past w...
The one
for me is Septantieme...it's just the most beautiful one of them all to me although it is veeery veeery hard to name just one... Best Damjan
If I had the $$$ to, that would be my choice as well.
Right now, cronolust, it would be best if you could post a few wrist shots of you wearing different watches. That will help us determine if you can wear all Reverso sizes and, if not, what are the sizes that would suit your wrist and what models are avail...
The list will be too exhaustive, Cronolust.
Do you want a complication, or not? Do you prefer a simpler one? With Date, no Date? Seconds, no Seconds? What case size? What metal? What is your budget? Best, Nicolas
Decisions, decisions ......
I think that the GT case would be easy to wear with a shirt cuff but I would like to know what you think. Also, the trend for watch sizes is slimmer and smaller than over the past ten years or so. The case should be rose gold or platinum. I hope that is a...
and more decisions...
Complication would be good as would some nice finishing visible to the eye. Budget .... is that a rent -a -car ? I would like to feel that I could ware it without being followed by a Navy Seal team 24/7
So, one is these two is for you.

and in rose gold ?
Nicholas, Thank you for that and the great photo. How about your ideas on rose gold models. Cronolust
You have the 6 Reverso Rose Gold Limited Editions...
The 60eme, the Touirbillon, the Minute repeater, the Chronograph, the Perpetual Calendar, and the Geographique... All in a GT case, of course. Best, Nicolas
For me the n°2 is OK !
This Reverso n°2 is for me one of the most beautiful Reverso ever made (even THE most beautiful). I love every detail of this watch. it has all that I love in a Reverso : the size, the ruthenium dial, the floral numbers, the fact that no figure is partly ...
I share your enthusiasm on this one.
The good news is that it can be found on the different collectors markets for a way more reasonnable price. It is just a question of time and patience. One of my top five favourite Reverso, for sure. Best, Nicolas
I have struggled with Reversos...
...large and small to find the right fit. Everyone reacts differently to different sizes depending on personal taste and how it lays on your particular wrist. After much trial and error, I settled on the GT size because the proportions were easiest for me...
Good advice...
Hi Ken, That sounds like good advice to me. Did you buy it from new at an AD ? Can you post a few more photos of your fantastic watch. The reverse would be good ! Thank you for your post. Cronolust
Bought some years ago...
...just when I thought there was no Reverso for me! I found it at a small NYC vintage dealer. As for the strap, I have recently replaced it with a chestnut brown matte croc that provides a bit more contrast and seems more casual to me. Here's the Reverse ...
Ken that looks so good !
Ken that watch looks fantastic, you must be pleased with it. When I am in NYC next we should have a Reverso GTG lunch Thanks for the photo Cronolust
The Deco is a fabulous watch! Have ...
... you tried it with a black strap, Ken? I'd think that a black strap would enhace its classic elegance even better than a brown one. Christian
Strap colour...
The colour and texture of a strap makes a big difference to the look of most watches but it gives the Reverso a big change of character. I have seen the watch with a dark blue croc strap and it looked superb, especially when you see it with the reverse or...
Hi Christian, do you...
Hi Christian, do you own an Art Deco model Reverso ? Cronolust
Every time I see this one .. It's with congrats to the owner !!
Has a combination of noble retro charme, elegance and enough 'jeunesse' to be a keeper. - What a nice suggestion, as well .. Continue to wear her in good health ! Best, hs
If money is not a problem, here's my choice.
www.youtube.com But on a more modest budget, The Grande Date would be my choice. www.youtube.com cheers PAt
Duo
Hi Well if you want a GT case - I don't think you can go far wrong with a Duo. I think it is available is rose gold, its also a nice complication, but doesn't look like it until you flip the case over and see another dial on the reverse side of the case. ...
The dark side .....
The dark side of the Reverso ? That sounds like you have been watching Star Wars again, Luke
two dials
Hi A Duo has two dials for you to look at -in the steel version at least the flip side is dark, as in my photo. The main dial is generally lighter on colour. Cheers PS the real dark side of a Reverso is wanting a Reverso plantinum 2 and not having the mon...
Sold it to fund several pieces such as the Freak, the MMR Ti, and a few others.
Of course it wasn't enough to fund all of them, but it was a partial solution. Best, Nicolas
One idea ....
Sell your family to slave traders, that way you get the watch and as a bonus you get to see what you want on TV !
if you ever have one Reveros before, my suggestion for you is...
...please keep us posted what will be your choice later....
Thanks Stefan...
Good photo and advice, how long have you owned your Reverso and has it kept good time ? I will post Photos when I have "splashed my cash" Cronolust PS, You have it on your right wrist.
So many choices, but you definitely need to own one.
Reverso comes in many different styles to suit different individuals. You really need to go into a JLC boutique and look at them, try them all and compare. It is a very enjoyable experience! The only problem is one can easily get hooked and wants not one ...
